Heritage School Dress Code

Your cooperation in creating a uniform look to our student dress is needed.  All students in Kindergarten – 12th grade will be required to wear khaki pants, shorts, or skirts.

 

In EC – Grade 6, tennis shoes (no Heelies) are a must for safety’s sake, both on the playground and in PE.
